hows the power footprint? i never understood why each prefix cost 1mW to handle on most routers (and still took 2-3 minutes to converge)

I use the 7280R in production. Love it.
Pros: Cheap, fantastic API, can take (current) full tables of v4 and v6. 6x100G w 48x1/10G gives lots of flexibility.
Cons: Lack of proper VRF support and minimal bgp address families. (If you want strict isolation, or can use a separate device for route leaking,
can still do most of what we want).

anyone have thoughts about/experience with the Arista 7280R / their flexroute engine?

The ASR1Ks are too small for our needs and the ASR9Ks are
expensive and probably overkill. That being said, our IT staff is willing to look at other vendors if they are the right fit.
Requirements:
* Can handle full internet tables, both v4 and v6 with room for
* VRF capability. * About 12-ish 10Gb ports and 10-ish 1Gb ports (24-ish total if
reasonable growth over the next 5 years. they are 1Gb/10Gb select-rate ports.)
* Full-Feature BGP (address-families, communities, peer-groups, etc...) * Used by carriers or large enterprises in a production role for at least a year (and not causing ulcers) * Affordable. I know that's subjective, but we need a solution

We are open to named vendors and even so-called brite-box
solutions. A little nervous about fringe solutions like pure whitebox with Quagga, but if the savings are there and people can vouch for it, we will consider it.
In other words, if you've used it and stand by it, we value that
input and will put it on the initial list. Also, if you chose solution-X after comparing it to solution-Y it would be very helpful to detail what you tested and why you chose.
Thanks in advance.
